We are over run with black widows....the entire neighborhood has them in their mail boxes...The Boy found several on the school playground in the equipment. When we went to the Organic festival in Gulfport that was the most fun for him....killing the black widows on the buildings along the sidewalk. Sigh. I've lived in Florida 43 years and NEVER saw one until last year. My mad scientist neighbor used to collect them on the sea walls and sell them to a lab back in the 60's. Then they were so hard to find. Hey wait....I wonder if they are still purchased for the venom???? I may have stumbled on to something here! Better not quit my day job though.
